Chapter One 

Curse of The Devil’s Gold

Mindoro Island, the Philippines, fall 1942, the Japanese are everywhere and nowhere, I have no idea. I’m hunkered down here in the underbrush, miles from my carrier with no hope of immediate help.

While they were fighting I landed and found a quasi safe spot and watched the dog fight. I noticed that only one of the Japanese planes was into the fight and the other plane was just milling around. Somehow the gunnie in the Dauntless managed to hit the miller and it looked like it was on it’s way down. Whoa! That plane is coming down OK, but the damned thing is coming straight toward me. How does he know I’m here? It crashes not a hundred yards from me and covers the whole area with metal cartons and something shiny that looks like colored metal flying everywhere. That plane must have been just about out of fuel because it didn’t burst into flames. I later learned that they had less gas so they could carry more gold. Then they had put that extra gas in the escort plane in case he got into a dog
